Understanding Laser Hair Removal

The treatment areas for our NYC laser hair removal practice are categorized into small, medium, and large, depending on the number of damaged hair follicles to be treated. The success of the procedure depends on factors such as skin tone, hair color, and the number of simple treatments required for effective hair removal.
How Laser Technology Works
In the context of hair removal, laser technology works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin and targets the melanin in the hair. The melanin absorbs the light and converts it into heat, which then damages the hair follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. The Lumenis LightSheer QUATTRO laser technology, utilized by The Dermatology and Laser Group in New York City, provides increased comfort and safety for hair removal treatments on a range of skin types. This is achieved through the use of a both a gentle suction or cooled sapphire tip handpiece, both of which deliver energy gradually and enable direct contact with the skin.
The key to achieving long-lasting hair reduction lies in the ability of laser technology to destroy hair follicles at their base. As the melanin in the hair absorbs the laser energy and converts it into heat, the hair follicle is damaged, thus inhibiting future hair growth. It is estimated that 10-15% of hair follicles are destroyed in each session. While individual results may vary, many clients experience significant hair reduction after a few sessions, with some requiring individual maintenance sessions to ensure lasting effects.
The efficiency of laser hair removal treatments depends on various factors, including skin tone, hair type, and the area being treated. In general, laser hair removal has been found to be more effective than other methods, such as waxing and shaving, which only provide temporary relief from unwanted hair growth. With our relatively painless hair removal the procedure is now much more desirable for our patients.
Almost Painless Laser Hair Removal Treatments at The Dermatology and Laser Group
We use the LightSheer QUATTRO in an innovative way we call the Whisper Technique. This modification is used for the first few treatments when the hair is more coarse and traditional techniques would be more painful. Instead of pulsing the energy at full power, we break the total energy into comfortable smaller fragments that we pulse rapidly. The Whisper Technique provides patients with an almost painless laser hair removal treatment.
In addition to our advanced technology, and the Whisper Technique, The Dermatology and Laser Group also takes other measures to make laser hair removal as comfortable as possible. Because all laser hair removal procedures are directly supervised by our Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Arash Akhavan, we are also able to use prescription numbing creams when treating smaller areas such as the bikini, underarms, areola, or face.
